Turned hearts

Luna strolled through the moonlit forest, her senses heightened by the night. The cool breeze whispered through the trees, carrying the scent of pine and earth. As a werewolf, Luna felt at home in the wilderness. She relished these moments of solitude, away from the prying eyes of the human world.

She twirled in excitement,"Mother Nature sure is beautiful tonight", she thought to herself,But fate had other plans for her that night. As she ventured deeper into the forest, Luna's sharp ears picked up on a distant rustling. Curiosity piqued, she followed the sound until she stumbled upon a clearing.

There, bathed in the soft glow of the moon, stood an unclad fellow staring deep into Luna's soul.Its a female but she just couldn't wrap her head around why she is in the forest at this hour and why she is staring at her. Her dark hair fell messily over her forehead, and her eyes sparkled with a mixture of wonder and fear. Luna's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, a mix of emotions flooding through her.

Maya, a fellow werewolf, had unknowingly wandered into Luna's territory. She had heard tales of Luna's encounters with humans but never expected to come across her in the flesh. Luna, torn between her loyalty to her pack and the urge to find out who this strange female is, chased her through the forest.

" What are you doing here?" Luna asked, her voice filled with concern.

Maya hesitated, her gaze shifting from Luna to the ground. "I couldn't stay away. I heard rumors of a human in our territory, and I had to see for myself."

Luna's heart sank. She knew that their pack's rules forbade any contact with humans, as it could jeopardize their existence. Yet, here they were, standing face to face with a choice that could alter their lives forever.

Just as Luna was about to speak, a twig snapped in the distance. Their attention turned to the sound, and they both knew that their decision would have to wait. Another werewolf, a stranger, emerged from the shadows, his eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.

"Who are you two? And what are you doing in my territory?" the stranger growled.

Luna and Maya exchanged a glance,"we mean no harm",Luna stated.

With uncertainty in her voice, Maya replied, "We're just trying to protect what's ours. And it seems like you've stumbled into something bigger than you can handle."

The stranger's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Well, then tonight's meal is definitely fine! Two lost females and one is unclad what a befitting meal this will be he said as he walked to and fro fixing his gaze on both of them.

Luna felt her wolf at its peak ready for war but she tried to silence it and as soon as Maya's wolf came to life hers purged out too without warning for the very first time.

Maya jumped on the young man and in a few seconds his remains were littered all over.For the first time in a long time Luna didn't have to be the one to lead a full attack.

"What kind of wolf is she?" Luna thought to herself, still amazed by the scene that just unfolded before her very eyes.

Slowly Maya morphed back to her original.

Wow, Maya! That was incredible! I've never seen someone shift and attack with such ferocity. You truly are a force to be reckoned with.

Maya's eyes sparkled with a mix of pride and excitement. "I've been training for a while now, honing my skills as a werewolf. I never thought I'd have to use them in a situation like this, but I'm glad I could protect us."

Luna nodded, a sense of gratitude and relief washing over her. "I'm grateful to have you by my side, Maya. We make a formidable team."They both smiled at each other.

"Let's get you dressed shall we?"Luna asked with a smile.

"No,let it be,I don't want to be a bother"Maya said.

As the adrenaline subsided, Luna's thoughts returned to their original quest. "Now that we've dealt with this intruder, let's head back to my territory. I want to introduce you to the pack as my friend. They'll be thrilled to meet you!, you're one of us now".

Maya's smile widened, and she nodded eagerly. "I would love to meet your pack, Luna. It's an honor to be welcomed into your territory."

Together, Luna and Maya made their way back to Luna's territory, where the pack eagerly awaited their return. Luna introduced Maya to the pack, and they were greeted with warmth and excitement. Luna couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as she introduced her brave and loyal friend to her pack.

"So we now recruit stranger now Luna?" A strange voice said from the back of the gathered crowd and everyone made way for him,it was Blake Luna's brother.

He made his way through the crowd walking with a fierce aura as he stood in front of Maya staring straight into her eyes.

Maya stood there in fear of his height and powerful stare,she looked down and didn't make eye contact.

“Hey! Move back Blake let her be.

She's my friend, and she's proven herself to be brave and strong. She fought alongside me tonight, and I couldn't be prouder to have her by my side."

The pack members gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity and respect. Blake, a tough and stoic member of the pack,still stood in front of Maya staring deep into her eyes.

Maya turned her gaze at Luna's pack, feeling a sense of belonging. "It's an honor to meet all of you. Luna has told me so much about each and every one of you. I'm excited to get to know you all better."

Blake, with a hint of arrogance in his voice, looked at Maya and asked, "And who might you be? What are you doing here, intruding on our territory?"

"For God's sake Blake I just introduced her to you a …just as Luna was about to finish her statement Maya cut in."let it be Luna he has every right to know".

Maya, unfazed by his arrogance, met his gaze with a calm confidence. "I'm Maya, Luna's friend. I'm here because Luna invited me. We fought together, and I've proven myself to be a valuable ally."

Blake's expression softened for a moment, a flicker of something more than arrogance shining in his eyes. "Luna's friend, huh? Well, she's lucky to have someone like you by her side,but I am not falling for all this"

Maya smirked, knowing there was more to Blake's words than met the eye. "Oh, I know Luna appreciates it. And who knows, maybe we'll end up being more than just friends."

"We'll see about that. But for now, I suppose I can tolerate your presence."he said and made his way into the forest and few males accompanied him side by side.
